California Condor Eben McMillan 4 November 1963 I drove to Lebec by 9:30 A.M., via Taft and Maricopa. A cloud cover came and went during the morning, with an East and North wind, but it remained warm. No more reports of Condor from the Tejon Personnel at the Lebec Office. From Lebec I went to Tejon Flats, via the Ostrich Farm. At 10:30 A.M., a Golden Eagle was seen circling above the Ostrich Farm. As it commenced to leave the area towards the Northwest it made two rises and dives in flight that are supposed to be associated with nuptial behavior. At 12:10 P.M. one Condor was seen circling, at a distance, above the open hill that fronts the North side of the mouth of Tunis Canyon where it emerges from the mountain mass. This bird circled for two minutes, gaining altitude, and drifting eastward. At 12:13 P.M. it went into a glide and passed from sight, behind the mountain north of Tunis Canyon, heading in an easterly direction, but appearing to be loosing altitude as if it were not on a long sustained flight. At the distance from which I was observing this Condor it was difficult to get any idea [illegible] of age but at no time in its circling was I able to make out any amount of white coloration under the wings. From its actions I would suspect it was a young bird. At 1:05 P.M. an immature Golden Eagle came from the south front of Tunis Canyon and circled overhead before drifting Northwest about two miles and then turning Southwest. This bird appeared to have just eaten, from its protruding breast. The spots in this bird's wings were rather dim, but the tail showed much bright white.
